Cabo San Lucas is one of two parts that make up Los Cabos — a destination at the tip of the Baja peninsula that also includes the resort area of San Jose del Cabo. Perched at the convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, this small stretch of Mexico's beaches is known for hosting a plethora of five-star resorts, fresh seafood, whale watching opportunities, and other tropical adventures. Learn more about the best places to visit and top things to do in Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
●Watch a Sunset from Land's End
Nope, we're not talking about the area in San Francisco, although the rock formation in Cabo San Lucas is somewhat similar. You'll find this breathtaking and famous view in the southern area of Cabo, where two of its most iconic — and strategically named — beaches meet: Playa del Amor and Playa del Divorcio.
Most travelers who enjoy a sandy vacation will stay in this area since it offers the most shoreline to sunbathe or swim. Couples are often spotted capturing sunset selfies here, since the view from between the rocks is unparalleled with any other viewing spot. If you want to get up close and personal, you can take a water taxi or a boat tour to see Land's End from the sea.
● Visit San Jose del Cabo
If you've ever explored European cities, you know how important it is to explore the "Old Town" before you head back home. Though not the official name of Cabo San Lucas' city region, San Jose del Cabo offers a glimpse into the history of Mexico. While it is a 20-minute taxi ride away, the trek will be worth it - especially if you have an appetite for cultural immersions.
●Play on Playa Del Amor and Playa Del Divorcio
If you know a lick of Spanish, then you might be able to guess the name of one of the top rated beaches in Cabo San Lucas. Near Land's End and south of the downtown area, this shoreline is one of the busiest, so set your alarm early to scope out the scene. In addition to the ideal, beautiful spot to celebrate the next chapter of your relationship, this beach location offers a special geographical experience, too.
There are two sides with two bodies of water: one on the Sea of Cortez and another in the Pacific Ocean. Once you cross over to the ocean side, you're on the "divorce" side. You can hike between the two — and trust us, you'll know when you're in lover's land and when you're in the middle of a marriage fallout. How so? The Sea of Cortez has relatively calm waters, much like the start of a new love affair, while the Pacific has big swells and dangerous waters for swimming — much like a breakup.
● Tour the Church of Saint Luke
If part of traveling for you is sightseeing and exploring historical landmarks, make sure to add a quick visit to the Iglesia de San Lucas while you're in Cabo. Though not quite as touristy or tropical as other things to do, this church has a deep, interesting history dating back to the 1700s. In addition to admiring the structure itself - featuring two ancient bells at the top - there are also other activities to explore.
Because the city renovated this slice of history to preserve its roots, they constructed a plaza featuring restaurants and boutiques, giving some modern touches to the area. If you'd like to attend mass, they offer a bilingual service on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. As a bonus, it's only a 15-minute walk from the marina, so you can fit it into your sightseeing day seamlessly.
●Walk through Marina Cabo San Lucas
Is any beach town complete without a trip to the local marina? We think not! The marina is super accessible from plenty of the top-tier resorts, so grab your travel buddies and spend the day browsing through shops and snacking at local and national chain eateries, all while admiring the view. In the harbor, you'll count endless yachts and find yourself sampling every type of ethnic cuisine imaginable and scoring great deals on swimsuits, souvenirs, and more.
If you forgot something at home - drat! - and need to restock, stop by the Puerto Paraiso Mall, if you're on a budget, or Luxury Avenue for a splurge-worthy beach bag or pair of sunnies. If you plan on booking one of the many aquatic adventures in Cabo San Lucas, most cruises and ships depart from this marina.
●Sign Up for a Deep-Sea Fishing Adventure on the Sea of Cortez
If you can't get enough of freshly caught seafood, you'll be in heaven in Cabo San Lucas. Here, countless species are locally caught and sourced- from mahi mahi and mackerel to yellowfin tuna and snapper. Though most restaurants will offer these fillets seasoned, fried, grilled, or blackened, you can also try your hand at catching these wonders of the sea, too! Between the months of October and March, you can cross a big one off your bucket list. And by "big," we mean huge - seeing a whale! The Baja Peninsula happens to attract the sea's largest creature because of its position on the map and the many lagoons that are scattered around the area. When whales are in their migration period of the year, tourism tends to flourish, making it a more expensive time to visit. How do you see one of these massive swimmers?
